3 O'clock Horror

For a horror game with three different endings, puzzles, monsters and a sanity system, 3 O'clock Horror is surprisingly barebones on Steam. There are no Steam achievements or Trading Cards, despite plenty of obvious opportunities for achievements, such as reaching each ending, solving the different puzzles, surviving encounters and managing your sanity. The time limit is an interesting idea, but the progression can also feel confusing at times, and once you've seen the endings there isn't much reason to return. It's free and has a decent atmosphere, but it could have offered much more to achievement hunters and replay-focused players.

I liked this game and there were parts that genuinely creeped me out. If the music/sound design are all original that's awesome; If not I couldn't tell. The art style is somewhere between retro 8-bit and "MS Paint" and some of the artwork in the game was really unsettling to me, great job! I thought the "time is running out" mechanic was kind of cool and added to a sense of dread. Puzzles were challenging but not impossible for me. Yes the game is kind of jank and I ran into a couple of bugs but nothing I encountered ruined or crashed my play experience. The UI takes some getting used to, especially when grabbing items to put in your inventory and finding out when to use 'E' at the right time/place to do interactions. This looks like the first game by the developer/publisher plus it's a free game so I don't mind a little jank. This one surprised me in a good way. Looking forward to beating the clock and finishing it!

Achei um jogo deveras interessante, mas se perguntar se é um ótimo game, obviamente direi que não. Não entendi muito bem a vibe que o jogo quis passar, pois tava esperando até que um terror agradável, mas não chegou perto disso (acho que um dos motivos que fez eu acreditar nessa possibilidade foi por conta da música no menu principal, inclusive muito boa) e também não entendi a conexão das obras de Lovecraft com a trama do game, dita na sinopse daqui na página do game(nunca li uma obra, mas acredito que envolva bastante horror espacial ou ocultismo, ou algo próximo disso). Basicamente controlamos um rapaz de sobrenome Wright que resolveu ir na casa de seu falecido tio, pois ele soube que há um tesouro guardado lá a sete chaves e muitas pessoas tentaram pegar esse tesouro e não voltaram mais de lá e, é a partir daí que a merda começa a rolar pro garoto. Para aqueles admiradores de jumpscare a todo momento, posso te afirmar que não espere muito por isso e aos desavisados com sustos, no primeiro momento vai te pegar, mas com o decorrer do tempo nem vai surtir efeito. Podia ter mais potencial, inclusive, se houvesse legendas em PT-BR ajudaria demais (pois tem bastante texto espalhado pelos cenários), além disso, senti que faltou aquele "tcham" do game para ter algo mais a admirá-lo.

interesante

There is something here that is definitely good, a very interesting atmosphere, but...gosh, it needs A LOT of polish. I'd like to try playing this game again, but maybe in the form of a visual novel or something more direct and understandable. The developer is on the right track.
